From Ruth and Gehrig to Judge and Stanton: the power pairs that have defined Major League Baseball

In Major League Baseball, some players define an era through their brilliance, becoming the idols fans never forget.

For the New York Yankees, the partnership of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton has been that force – a duo of raw power at the plate whose steady stream of home runs has them on track for a place in history. The two have shared a clubhouse since the start of the 2018 season, and their tally keeps growing.

These are the pairs of teammates who have hit the most home runs in the same game during their time together:

• Eddie Mathews and Henry Aaron, Atlanta Braves – 76 home runs: The two shared the Braves’ lineup from 1954 to 1966. Their first game connecting on homers came on April 25, 1954.
• Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, New York Yankees – 75 home runs: Ruth arrived in New York in 1920, Gehrig made his debut in 1923, and they were teammates until 1934. Their final game going deep together was on September 10, 1925.
• Willie McCovey and Willie Mays, San Francisco Giants – 68 home runs: Mays debuted in 1951, McCovey in 1959. Their last shared home-run game came on August 26, 1970.
• Duke Snider and Gil Hodges, Los Angeles Dodgers – 68 home runs: Teammates until 1961, their final combined homer game was on April 17, 1960.
• Billy Williams and Ron Santo, Chicago Cubs – 64 home runs: They played together through the 1973 season. Their first joint homer game was on July 29, 1961, and the last on September 19, 1973.
